Without a dependable size figure for Reimer Reservoir, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Reimer Reservoir include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.

During a return to the best bank near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.

During a methodical search near scattered wood while the water is rising, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.

During an overcast morning near a channel bend where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop with a slow lure, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a short evening pass near a shallow shelf after warm rain, Other targets listed here include Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.

How to Read the Water

During a cold winter outing near a rocky edge beside useful cover, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

During a bright afternoon near a shallow shelf in stained water, Early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the start of a weather change near a rocky edge after a cold night, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

During a cool spring morning near the downwind side near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
